A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

It said Brie Thorpe, or something like that.

I googled a bit, and couldn't find anything about a character by that name. Did they say the name of Darkh's wife or daughter?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Did they SERIOUSLY just Oracle Felicity? I'm kind of filled with rage about that.

Wait, that was the grave Ollie was standing at? I thought it was just a grave the camera panned past.

I'm already cringing because I just KNOW they'd have a miracle cure.

I wasn't sure -- the angle was weird -- but I can't think of a reason they'd focus on a name like that if it weren't important.

I wasn't overly impressed with Stephen Amell's acting in this episode. His facial expressions just kept seeming weird.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I'm thinking that was just a grave they panned past.

Dahrk's wife's name is Renee. I don't think they said his daughter's name.

At this point I'm thinking Mama Smoak is in the grave, based on Felicity's reaction. And I could see Dahrk killing her as revenge for Lance betraying him.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

I love Charlotte Ross, but I'll take Mama Smoak over Diggle, which was my first thought when we saw Felicity in the car with Oliver.

For what was supposed to be a big dramatic episode post winter break, that felt weirdly bloodless. I've been spoiled about Felicity being potentially paralyzed, and I'm with Hill in guessing they'd find a cure for her pretty quickly (maybe Ray's miracle nanobots?), which would feel cheap. Not that I want Felicity to remain in a wheelchair. But.
